This song calms me down and helps me breathe deeply even in the midst of uncertainty and stress. I love the lyrics that remind us,

“In every change He faithful will remain. Be still, my soul: Thy best, thy heavenly Friend thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.”

He is always there for each of us. He is our best friend who leads us to eternally happy endings regardless of hard circumstances right now in life.

Written for a soprano or alto soloist to be able to comfortably sing. It begins in F Major, but quickly shifts to D Major where it stays through the ending. Plenty of short rests give easy breathing spots for the singer and a few minor changes to the rhythm and melody line will be seen. Dynamics are marked for the pianist to lead to a big swell on the 3rd verse but hopefully soloists and accompanists will work together to add more small cresc/decresc. moments throughout. Hope you enjoy this piece as much as I enjoyed writing it!
